Physical media

I started seriously collecting (if you can call it serious) physical media about a year ago, about the same time I got into film photography. I love going through the VHS, DVDs, and cassettes at thrift stores. I don’t have tons of vinyl bc they’re expensive but I like those too, and I have tons of books of course. :)

COLLECTING PHYSICAL MEDIA

after playstation removed a bunch of videos that people had already purchased through their store i learnt that when you buy digital products, you're not really buying them, you're buying a licence to use them until they decide they want to stop licensing it out to you. so i've kind of got back into collecting physical media i saw in my local charity shop that CDs were 10p and i had a look and holy shiiiiiit i found some gold, Outkast, Lauryn Hill, Arrested Development, Bon Iver, Haim, loads of stuff - and i don't live in a particularly 'cool' place so was surprised to find them and i've already rec'ed this before but DVDs too, a place by me does 10 for 50p and even found fairly recent titles like the favourite, little women, etc. idk, i guess i might be romanticising having physical media but i love it

physical media but minimally

While cleaning up the shed, my parents and I found some old cd's and a cd rack. We kind of have this idea that whataver is put on the internet will stay there and although, yes things can come back from the deepest or most abandont parts, just like all other things it somewhat decays. So as of now, I got some cd's again (mostly secondhand). I'm not the type who then starts collecting and consuming for no reason. I'll probably get just enough for the rack to be filled. So my rec would be to think of your favourite genres or specific albums (or with any other media) and then get only those in physical media. Now whatever happens, you'll have it, while also not overspending or consuming <3

[FILMGRAB]

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing! I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Saving the fortunes from fortuNe cookies

Yeah, a lot of them are silly, but I like to keep them anyways - I tape them to the outside or on the inside of my notebooks as a little pick-me-up. I used this notebook in undergrad for my arts and culture journalism class. I still procrastinated, but it was funny to have that reminder.
